Package: linux-cpupower Version: 4.16.5-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was running - $ cpupower frequency-info analyzing CPU 0: driver: intel_pstate CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported. hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.30 GHz available cpufreq governors: performance powersave current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.30 GHz. The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware current CPU frequency: 3.21 GHz (asserted by call to kernel) boost state support: Supported: yes Active: yes Now as can be seen it says 'current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware' but when it is set to performance, then it should tell what frequency it is using now. Some info. of the current machine - $ lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 4 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 4 Socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 158 Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz Stepping: 9 CPU MHz: 3300.217 CPU max MHz: 3300.0000 CPU min MHz: 800.0000 BogoMIPS: 6000.00 Virtualization: VT-x L1d cache: 32K L1i cache: 32K L2 cache: 256K L3 cache: 6144K NUMA node0 CPU(s): 0-3 Flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx pdpe1gb rdtscp lm constant_tsc art arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc cpuid aperfmperf tsc_known_freq pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 sdbg fma cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic movbe popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx f16c rdrand lahf_lm abm 3dnowprefetch cpuid_fault invpcid_single pti tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid fsgsbase tsc_adjust bmi1 avx2 smep bmi2 erms invpcid mpx rdseed adx smap clflushopt intel_pt xsaveopt xsavec xgetbv1 xsaves ibpb ibrs stibp dtherm ida arat pln pts hwp hwp_notify hwp_act_window hwp_epp -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (100, 'experimental'), (100, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages linux-cpupower depends on: ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libcpupower1 4.16.5-1 ii libpci3 1:3.5.2-1 linux-cpupower recommends no packages. linux-cpupower suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
